sense now that they're really anxious to reach out to hispanics, alina because all of a sudden lindsay graham is teaming up with chuck schumer, the democratic senator from new york for comprehensive immigration reform. all of a sudden that's on the agenda right now. certainly the comments that mitt romney made during his effort to get the republican presidential nomination about self-deportation or for illegal immigrants, that came back to haunt them. they got a lot of problems, a lot of reassessing to do. and what jindal is now saying and others are saying it, it's time to take a better look where the republican party stands. >> yeah, particularly when you look ahead to 2016, never too early to do that, right, wolf? and you look at states like texas, that could be in play, which seemed unbelievable just a couple of years ago. meanwhile, let's talk about the democrats, because as you know, generally there's a little bit of musical chairs that goes on in the cabinet in the second term. and that is the case this time around, widely expected that u.s. ambassador to the u.n. susan rice going to b

and in fact lindsey graham, i was the person who asked both lindsey graham and john mccain the question about susan rice because it was clear they were so hot on this issue, and he made the point separately that he has supported the president's supreme court nominees when most of his party has not. but this is a situation where they are going to go to war to try to block it if, in fact, susan rice is nominated or as they said for that matter, anyone else who is currently serving in the administration who they think did not do their job properly when it comes to benghazi and the attack in libya. >> i want to discuss more on this with our panel in a moment. ali velshi, i want to bring you into this conversation, talk about the so-called fiscal cliff. the president was firm saying the rich people -- the people who make more than $250,000 a year presumably will have to pay some more in taxes, but i didn't hear that firm shermanesque line about rates, about tax rates or numbers for that matter. he was very, very willing to compromise if they have good ideas, bring them up, let's avoid this l

jessica, is the obama administration saying anything about the graham and schumer plan as it starts to formulate here? >> hey, ted. they haven't commented on the plan so far this week, but graham and schumer are re-engaging on a proposal that those two senators first outlined in march of 2010, and the white house supported that r proposal then. that proposal has four specific components, not just tightening the bord, but the key component is a biometrics social security card so only those here legally can be hired. that is sort of can considered the key linchpin that could get a lot of republicans on board. also a path to legalization, a process for admitting temporary workers. it sort of is considered a framework for a comprehensive plan that the white house said they very much would like to get done for the president in the second term. >> what about the timing? why now? why is this being brought up after the election? there is exit polling that showed that majority of americans want something done on this. what is pushing this right now? >> well, a couple of things, first of all, th
